"Tell Xiaozhi to defend the city with all your heart, and not to be negligent in the slightest, and order General Cao Bao to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to take over the defense of the Sword Pavilion, and let General Lei Tong support Jia Mengguan and guard against the army of the Marquis of Jin." Liu Bei said.

"Whoa." Xu Shu understands that this is Liu Bei's distrust of Meng Da and Fa Zheng, if Meng Da and others dedicate Jia Meng Pass to Lu Bu, it means that the Jingzhou army will be attacked by the enemy, and after controlling the Sword Pavilion Plank Road, the situation is different, as long as there is something wrong, just a big fire can make it difficult for Lu Bu to enter the land of Yizhou, and it is very difficult to take the waterway from Jia Meng Pass to threaten the safety of Yizhou.

"Lord, when we attack Ruocheng as soon as possible, although the Yizhou army has been defeated one after another, the heritage still exists, if our army can't break through Ruocheng as soon as possible, once Liu Zhang mobilizes troops and horses to Luocheng, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army." Xu Shu suggested that after the attack on Mianzhu, there were many things to deal with in the army, but if Liu Zhang was allowed to arrange it in Luocheng, it would be even more difficult to break through Luocheng, and Liu Zhang's influence in Yizhou could not be ignored.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yuan Zhizhi's words are yes." ”

"The subordinate asks to lead the army of three thousand to go first." Xu Shu said.

Liu Bei was silent for a moment and agreed, after entering Yizhou, Xu Shu's performance was remarkable, he could see that Xu Shu's resourcefulness was not under Fa Zheng, which was also the reason why Liu Bei was relieved to send Fa Zheng to Jia Meng Pass, compared to Xu Shu, Fa Zheng preferred to show himself, although Xu Shu used not a real name when he first took refuge in himself, but he made great contributions to him, treating such characters, Liu Bei naturally couldn't make Xu Shu feel cold.

"The terrain of Yizhou is complicated, and the military division should be cautious on the way to Luocheng." Liu Bei admonished.

With Liu Bei's orders, the army that had been silent for a long time in Ruocheng moved, Cao Bao led 2,000 soldiers and horses to the Jiange plank road, and Xu Shu led 3,000 soldiers to Luocheng, these 3,000 soldiers were the elite of the Jingzhou army, and they fought bravely.

The vanguard has an important role for an army, especially in Yizhou and other complex terrain battlefields, if the vanguard can play a role, it is extremely beneficial to the rear army, although it has broken through Fucheng and Mianzhu, Ruocheng is the most difficult place to break through Guanghan County, Ruocheng as the county governance of Guanghan County, and close to Chengdu City, the geographical location is extremely important, and it is the last barrier of Yizhou, Liu Zhang's attention to the defense of Ruocheng can be imagined.

In the city, Zhang Ren, who has been paying close attention to the movements of the Jingzhou army in Mianzhu City, hurriedly went to the army to discuss countermeasures with Yan Yan, for this long-famous general in the Yizhou army, Zhang Ren is still extremely respectful, when he entered the Yizhou army, he was able to get to the point where he is now, and Yan Yan's promotion has a certain relationship.

"General Yan, now Liu Bei has sent his subordinate military advisor Xu Shu to lead an army of 3,000 and rush to Luocheng first, I don't know what the general thinks?" Zhang Ren asked.

"Presumably General Zhang already has a plan in his heart, so why bother asking the old man?" Yan Yan stroked his beard and laughed.

Zhang Ren said: "The general's eyes are like a torch, and the general admires them." ”

Yan Yan's compliments to Zhang Ren are extremely useful, Yan Yan is an important general in the Yizhou army, and the defense of the Luocheng Pass is all subject to Yan Yan's orders, which is enough to see that Liu Zhang attaches great importance to Yan Yan, although he is a little old, but Yan Yan's martial arts have not fallen.

"It's just that you must be cautious in this trip, our army has been defeated one after another, which has a great impact on the morale of the army, if General Zhang can win, it will naturally be easy to defeat Liu Bei Xiao'er." Yan Yan said.

"Rest assured, the general will definitely defeat the enemy's vanguard." Zhang Rendao.

"I don't know what General Zhang's good plan is, you might as well say it and let the old man learn a thing or two from it." Yan Yan said.

Zhang Ren pointed to the topographic map hanging on the wall and said: "General and look, from Mianzhu into the city, Luofengpo is a must-pass place, the Jingzhou army has been defeated one after another, the soldiers will definitely be arrogant, if they can attack the Jingzhou army in Luofengpo, they will definitely be able to make the enemy's vanguard rout, even if the enemy army is prepared, our army can retreat." ”

Yan Yan nodded and said: "Luofengpo is indeed a good place to ambush, but General Zhang is ambushed in Luofengpo, and the news must not be leaked, and now there are many people in Yizhou who secretly support Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei can enter Shuzhong, how can the old man let these people succeed easily." ”

"The last general will know what to do." Zhang Rendao.

That night, Zhang Ren selected 3,000 archers in the army and quietly rushed to Luofengpo.

Luofeng slope terrain is dangerous, it is summer at this time, the shrubs on the hillside are overgrown, as long as the army hides properly, even if the Jingzhou army sends scouts to investigate, but also do not want to see the traces of the enemy, which is also the reason for the complex terrain in Shuzhong.

Xu Shu led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and it was natural to open the road in the mountains, and the speed of advance was not very fast, and the scouts in the army paid close attention to the news on the battlefield, as Zhang Ren expected, the successive victories made the Jingzhou army a little proud, in their opinion, the Yizhou army was just like this, along the way, no trace of the enemy army was found, and even the scouts in the army became a lot lax.

However, it was said that Xu Shu led the army forward, and when he looked up, he saw that the mountains on both sides had become extremely steep, with dense trees, and it was also summer, with lush foliage, Xu Shu Lerma asked, "Where is this?" ”

There were many soldiers of the Yizhou Army in the army, and they stepped forward and said: "This place is called Luofengpo." ”

"Luofengpo?" Xu Shu was suspicious in his heart, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong, so he only cared about hurrying, but ignored the news in the mountains on both sides, and the surroundings were too quiet, all of which gave Xu Shu a strong uneasiness.

Zhang Ren has been squinting at the situation of the army on the road below the mountain, since he is preparing to give the enemy an ambush, he naturally wants to teach the enemy a painful lesson, the three thousand vanguard army, it is impossible to shoot it completely, if it can shoot Liu Bei's military division among the enemy army, it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the Jingzhou army.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Xu Shu, who was dressed in a scribe's costume, was particularly conspicuous, pointing out the direction for Zhang Ren, taking out the bow and arrow, Zhang Ren suddenly ordered: "Kill!" ”

An arrow came towards Xu Shu unexpectedly, if it was on guard, Xu Shu might be able to dodge this fatal arrow, but at this time he was observing the surrounding terrain, he did not expect that there would be enemy ambushes around, the arrow pierced into the chest, Xu Shu felt that the power in his body was slowly passing, and he looked up at the direction where the arrow came from.

Arrows are like flying locusts, a lot of arrows come directly in the direction of Xu Shu, after a round of arrow rain, Xu Shu has more than 30 arrows on his body, and the war horse under him is lying in a pool of blood and wailing.
